Our apology for decrease in to-
cal happenings is owing to that
darned prison puzzle. Everybody
has been trying to get that fool out
of jail, and it is our utmost desire
to hear that tire -one whesprung

lie mind is tarrying there with him.
If our readers will work as hard to
keep us.out ofjail as they have for
that fellow, it will be all right.
All SIN was not the dead China
mans name, but like All Sin, ''for
tricks that were plain and ways
that were vain, he was very pecu-
liar"-in other words he was a gay
gapbolier. He was 65 years of age
when he died last Friday, and to
judge from the ceremonies had at
his funeral on Saturday, he must
have been popular man with his
countrtmen. Two large hogs and
a sheep were barbecued for the oc-
casion, and when placed upon the
tables and festooned with many
coloredspapers, presented a festive
sight not soon to be forgotten by
Cinnamon. His remains were borne
to the cemetery by the entire Chi
nese population of he.city, no less
than fifteen carriages being in the
procession. After planting him,
his friends returned and did full
justice to be barbecued hogs and
sheep and other delicacies, and no
doubt prayed for the speedy death
of some other Chinaman so they
could do the same thing over again
belly soon.

CALDWELL IDAHO, SATURDAY, MARCH 5, 1881

The force has been forty to hun
dred men for the past nine months,
and they have not had a single
row or fight in all that time. The
engineers and foremen are all Ore
'gon men, and are perfect gentle
men. They pay 81 per day for
men, and $4 per day for a man and
team, but they do not use many
teams as the work is all rock work
so far. After leaving the canyon
the survey line follows down the
river to a point about five miles
above Vale, where it crosses the riv-
er and runs southeast untilitstrikes
the Owyhee fiat then bears east to
the old Keeny ferry at the mouth
of Boise river, at which point it
crosses Snake river and on to Boise
City. Mr.. Eccleston, the chief en-
gineer, says that they have the best
grade from Boise City to the coast
that can be found, and he assures
me that we will have railroad
complete within two years at the
most"

Tim Shea, of Trout Creek, is on
his way from Winnemucca, with
several fine stations that he will
turn into his band Of brood mares
at the proper time. They are said
to be good stock, which is what we
need in this country.
We hear that work on the Bru-
neau dam, is being prosecuted Wig
orously. Twelve or fifteen men
are at work, and as soon as the
dam is constructed they will be put
to work in digging the canal, which,
when completed, will carry water
enough to irrigate thousands of
acres of rich sage brush land lying
on the south side of Snake river, in
this county.
The mail due here on Wednesday
from Jordan Valley, arrived on
Thursday forenoon. The delay was
caused by the elements, and no one
is to blame. Mr.. Robert Hender-

6 o'clock, p. m., on Wednesday, and
reached Bonneville on Thursday
morning at 3 o'clock, having been
nine hours in coming five miles.
There is more snow at Wagontown
than has fallen for years.
We hear that the Idaho mining
company of Flint mining district
are now sinking three shafts from
the bottom of the level of the Perse-
verance mine, and that ere long
they will put hoisting works on one
of the shafts. The company is also
running tunnel from the-Levia-
than to cut the Rising Star. 1t is
the intention to work the Leviathan,
Rising Star and Perseverance
through one tunnel. Work is still
progressing on the Star of the Eve
ming. Fully 125 mon are working
in and around Flint. By spring it
is expected that the mines will be
well opened and the reduction works
in operation. Mr.. Stanton deserves
great credit for the manner in which
he has conducted the affairs of the
company, and if there is any such
thing as success, it will be under
his management.

Shoshonc Journal.

The Idaho Cattle Growers Asso-
citation meets in annual session at
Shoshone on Wednesday, March
23d, 1887. Where the jurisdiction
of the Association extends, there
has been a rapid decrease in stock
stealing and every cattle and horse
grower in Idaho should join and
make strong territorial organiza-
ton. In union there is strength, in
general cooperation and mutual
concert of action there is not only
mutual protection, but good will,
sociability and elevation of purpose.

Those members not received at

The legislature changed the age of
exemption from poll taxes from
fifty to sixty years. This has been
done in Difference to the lustiness Of
the old dogs in Idaho, who are able
bodied men as long as they live, and
speaks well for our climate. But it
will strain the old liars, that jump
of ten years will. The fellow last
spring who had passed fifty just
enough to escape, and had held that
age for years, will the coming spring
be compelled to get in some fine
work to stand off the poll tax man.

He will handle the subject in his

answers that conundrum we sug-
gest that he tackle this: "Why
those who are not Methodists
Dance" We never heard Of but one
squarc-toed Methodist who danced.
He was the backwoods preacher
who, arising one Sunday morning
10 announce his text, commenced
dancing for all he was worth, and
finally managed between jumps to
say: Brethren, the word Of God
IS in my mouth, but l believe the
levil is in the seat of my breeches"

'We wish to return our sincere
thanks" says the editorof an Iowa
paper, "to the enterprising but mis-
guided burglar, who broke into our
residence the other night, under the
impression that he ewas cracking the
crib of the druggist who lives next
door. He entered at a window and
carefully removed his boots, setting
them down on the floor. To this
circumstance, and to the fact that
we saw him come in, we are indebt-
ed for the first good pair of boots
we have had in ten years. While
he was ransacking the house we
quietly slipped out of bed and ex-
changed our old boots for his, and
then went back to bed and fell
asleep. How long he was in the
house we do not know, but the pre-
sumption is that when he went out
he took the old boots. They have
been missing ever since, and there
was nothing else to take.

Plan for Street Improvement.


EDS. RECoRD-UNIoN: Since improve
ment Of streets, so that they would be &C.
ceptable in the wintry wet weather, would
be as life from the dead to the street cues
ton, allow me to say that very high i'm
proyement can be made, and very probably
quickly extended to the remotest streets. as
follows: Dig sqnarely down in the center
OF each street from eight to twelve inches.
and six feet wide; remove the dirt to low
lots and ungraded streets and sell it. fill
the excavation with the best gravel and
the street is ready for USE If the excaya-
uon IS covered for two or three inches
thick with coal ashes from the water works.
and wet down by hydrant, it will pre-,
vent the ooziDg of mud and make a very
ine piece of work.
In the future, when it shall be desired 10
widen the streets, it will not be necessary
to remove the first gravel, but begin where
the last excavation was left off and not add
q single blow of labor or dollar of money
TO improve than would not have been ex
pended If the twelve feet had been made at
a single operation.
l will not expand what l have now said
except to say that done in this way. our
streets would be firm in winter. because the
square excavations would be the best of
oulkheads, and prevent the spread of the
gravel. The narrow road would at once be
adopted, and save the dirt road from use
ana from being cut up, except where teams
met and where delivery wagon drives to
one side to deliver goods; this service it
would stand. Ny opinion is they should
never be made wider than twelve feet, but |
am not sure. The future would tell.

He VIII be Missed.

One OF the least ostentatious, but rank
ing among the most kind-hearted and
honest residents of Yolo county, William
NJ. Green, died at his hotel in Washington
Yesterday morning. He was born in New
York city, crossed the plains in 1S49, To-
Gated in Washington in 1851, and lived
there continuously up to his DEATH He
leaves a wife and daughter, who are in
Philadelphia, Pa, visiting relations, hav-
ing left on their trip East few weeks ago.
Old residents will remember what a prom
inent man Mr.. Green was before railroad
times-in fact in the early days when a
ferry-boat was the means of crossing the
river between Sacramento and Washing
ton. In those days his hoteI-Green's Elk
change-was crowded with guests nightly,
and his mammoth stables, the ruins of
which now remain, were filled with the
teams of travellers and teamsters He and
Jake Lewis built the grade" running west
from Washington across the tules. His
charity was proverbial, as also his honesty
and pluck" Even during latter years,
when he has been comparatively poor, no
worthy person, and especially an old
friend, applied to him for aid unsuccess-
fully. He has suffered greatly from rheu-
matism for several years, and finally died
from its effects, after being confined to his
bed only two days. He was 20 years of
age.

Charley Reeds Ranch.

The editor of the Woodland Democrat,
referring to a visit made few days ago to
Knights Landing and vicinity, says
Having heard much of c. F. Reeds
IOO0o-acre field of wheat. which lies along
the levee for miles up and down the river,
and in sight of the landing, we took the
road which led through the center of the
waving grain. To estimate or realize the
magnitude of such sized field requires an
imagination much greater than our noble
mother ever gave us. While the held is OF
immense size, the quality of grain corre-
spends. as it is as thick as 1t can stand on
the ground, and is as tall as the back OF an
ayerage-sized horse, with long, well filed
heads. The prospective average yield per
acre is estimated by good judges to go as
nigh as 10 bushels, making the total
an1onnt of the field 100000 bushels, or
10 600 tons, and allowing 1000 tons for
shinioad. it will load twelve large-sized
vessels, which was more than the State OF
Mississippi produced in the year 1850, and
more than one half as much as Oregon
raised in the same year"
